Vintage Chinese Art Nouveau Floral Dusty Rose With Midnight Black Hand-Knotted Wool Rug – Curvilinear Motif BB7670 5'7" × 7'8" $6,000

This vintage hand-knotted wool rug from China brings a graceful Art Nouveau vocabulary to the Chinese rug tradition. Its curvilinear motif and floral abstraction feel period-authentic, while the restrained layout gives the piece an unusually polished, architectural presence.

The dusty rose field provides a warm, muted ground for midnight black scrolls that mirror each other from top to bottom. Broad looping arabesques, stylized blossoms, and cloud-like flourishes gather along the border and corners, leaving a calmer central field in between. That open space makes the design read clearly from across a room, with tonal rose detailing adding subtle depth rather than visual noise.

Hand-knotting in wool gives the surface a supple hand and crisp definition, allowing the strong contrast to stay clean. As a vintage Chinese floral rug, it suits interiors that need a graphic focal point without sacrificing elegance, especially beneath streamlined seating or in a refined layered scheme that benefits from quiet drama and refined modernism.

Curated by Doris Leslie Blau, this vintage rug carries the distinct character and artisanal soul that the gallery has championed for decades. With an unrivaled selection spanning eras, origins, and price points, Doris Leslie Blau continues to make fine carpet art accessible to designers and collectors worldwide.
